I love Jamie Cullum. I love everything about him- his unique brand of jazz/pop infused music, the fact that he puts on the best live performance I’ve ever seen, the way he dances on top of his piano at shows and even the fact that…
I’ve gushed about Declan O’Rourke before, but now I have a whole ‘nother album review to do so. O’Rourke is a singer-songwriting from Dublin, Ireland, and I fell in love with his music a few years ago, after one of my best friends studied abroad…
“Music is a weird and cosmic thing, its own strange religion for nonbelievers, and what a joy it is to make, in any form”- Fleet Foxes I feel like last fall was my time of interesting musical discovery. I got into a lot of bands…
I’ll admit that I’m pretty aversive to listening to any band that is associated with the word “emo”. First of all, I don’t understand how “emotional” can become a genre of music…isn’t all music emotional in some sense? And even worse, I don’t understand how…
I am pretty envious of my friend, Missy. During our sophomore year of college, she got to spend half of the year studying abroad in Ireland. While she was there, she had the time of her life- met tons of lifelong friends (two of them…
In the past year or so, I’ve become somewhat of a Radiohead fanatic. I blame it all on the band’s latest effort, In Rainbows, but I digress. Anyway, I’ve become one of those people who will argue that Radiohead is indeed the best band ever…
I try not to hold grudges. The past is the past, forgive and forget, all that jazz. Though I must say I’m still a teeny bit mad- okay, absolutely livid- about the fact that Kings of Leon cancelled their show that I was going to…
Call me biased, but I’m seriously starting to fall under the opinion that Radiohead‘s frontman, Thom Yorke, is a genius. Of course, there’s all the stellar Radiohead albums that he’s contributed to (including, of course, my favourite album, In Rainbows), but one can never be…
During the past couple of years, Coldplay has gone from being just a blip on my musical radar, to my favorite band (well, third after John Mayer and Jamie Cullum, but technically, they aren’t “bands” anyway). I’ve devoured all of their releases; falling in love…
Radiohead is one of many bands that I’ve heard mentioned numerous times over the years, but have always sort of ignored. Sure, I could sing along with the chorus to Creep, and I was even familiar with songs like High & Dry and Kid A…
